I use Splenda and will not stop.

In fact I hope her new book eases up on the artificial sweetener thing. I agree that aspartame is poision, but splenda and even saccharin are now considered safe.

I use Splenda, stevia, saccharin (sweet 'n lo) and acesulfame potassium sweeteners.

Be aware some sweeteners like Splenda have maltodextrin (a starch) added to them. In that case, I count the carbs. But one measley packet of Splenda only has 1 carb and 1/2 cup measures-like-sugar Splenda only has 12 grams of carbs - a lot less than 1/2 cup real sugar!

I bake with these sugar subs and will not give them up.

Since the authors of a book called the Insulin Resistance Diet feel sugar subs can trigger cravings, they suggest having them with a form of protein, which I always do. For example, if I eat a low carb muffin baked with Splenda, I have a small amount of protein with it like some cottage cheese or nuts etc.

Works for me and absolutely no cravings.
